Ivan, I'm insanely jealous (and I'm a guy who knows a woman who was at The Beatles concert held at the old armory here in DC in 1964 - the year I was born!).
Sarah, flattery will get you everywhere, but no, I'm just me. I could never write about current rock music for a living - I'd be a total curmudgeon, hating just about everything! (And I'm far, far away from being the most expert guy about older music even among my own friends [some of whom have written about music professionally], not to mention a few Audiogon members. BTW, I do own some reference books - you think these dates and stuff are just coming off the top of my head? :-).
